Prestonians turned out on bridges from Junction 28 onwards to wave to the procession and show their support for ‘Dave Day’ as it has been christened.
Paul Gray’s picture below show how busy it was on the bridge near the Cuerden Valley park, as all the bikers were cheered and a Lancashire flag was waved.
